Yeah, but I'm still against deleting his posts. It was a great diservice because it hid the fact that Jose defamed Brendan, which is bad. It paints Brendan as the only offender.hgm wrote:Ah. But when Jose mentions that a certain person has a certain Elo rating, it is not free speech, but 'defamation'?Ovyron wrote:I've been defending such posts by people since my I was Rybka Forum moderator for several years, and yes, I support freedom of speech, and will applaud anyone that isn't afraid to state their opinions.
Anyway, in conclusion, it seems Talkchess moderation is based on brute force, post deletion, censorship, and banning threads, using the charter to defend attacks on freedom of speech. And harrasing forum members like Brendan and me.
No doubt with the exact same charter, a different team of moderators could be making a much better job of controling the situation. But you take the lazy way of deletion and threats against members.
